Surgery Update

Shauna is out of surgery, and everything went well. They say everything looks great and they didn't see any signs of a tumor. Great news! She is now in her room but is still in a lot of pain. They have given her more pain meds and are working on getting it under control. She will stay overnight and hopefully be able to come home tomorrow afternoon.

Shauna,

I am so glad to hear that things went well with your surgery! Woohoo, you are going to beat this thing! I love your good humor, but can understand how frustrated it makes you all, and can especially "get" why Rick is mad at life. It is so unfair, isn't it? But you are well on your way to regaining the good life you had this time last year. Hang in there, we're all praying for you!

I found this great poem of Hope and good cheer:

A Message Of Hope
~by Luella Sebo~

May God grant you His wisdom and His grace
For all of life's problems you have to face
May He encourage your heart and calm each fear
Comfort you and give you cheer.

When your best plans have been rearranged
And all around you things have changed
The pressure's on to just give in
To join the crowd 'cause you can't win..

May God draw you closer and closer to HIm
When the days are long and your path grows dim
When clouds obscure the sunny skies
And through the darkness your worn heart cries.

When things go wrong, though you fight for right
You're weary from the long day's fight
Your pillow is wet with tears at night
No one to share, to know your plight.

May God hold you, enfold you in His care
Your burdens, your heartaches, your sorrows bear
Exchange your problems for a song
His angels guard you all night long.

May all your discouragements be left behind
In Christ a fresh, new courage find
And rise to face another day

Because the Savior leads the way.
